I guess it’s worth a shot I know I said I wouldn’t but I want to do this. At least this time my parents aren’t looking for my dates. I told the guy straight up I’ve got that and he gave me his number. Problem he has a kid but not with him. My mum was like no way!!! He’s also 37.
I guess I’m feeling quite vulnerable right now why do I feel so tempted to message him.
So what he has a kid?
I don’t know can I even handle the responsibility? No one seems to think so
Why do you rely so much on what others think? Think and decide for yourself.

I’m afraid of the reaction you haven’t a clue.
Who gives a damn what others’ reactions are. You vacillate so much on things at work and in interpersonal relationships. It sounds like your confidence needs a boost.

Your mother told no way to a date or possibility to get married with that guy?
Lol… Its kind of unnecessary to discuss the thing that isn’t even in progress yet…

I don’t want you to think I’m picking on you (I’m not), but are you in therapy? A lot of the postings you make are somewhat reflective of a person with low self-esteem/confidence.

Uh… I know you love your mum but she does sound like a control freak…even worst than mine.
You are so over thinking… Have a dinner, meet with the guy, see what he talks about and stuff…go home and keep living your life…it is really that simple.

I asked for it. They refused. And my Gp can’t do anything about it until they agree to it. I’ve been stable for a very long time. I have issues a lot of them and I fully accept that.
That’s a good starting point. It’s truly frustrating when the monolithic system impedes people’s lives. All I can suggest is to keep pressuring the right people, and hopefully you can get in to see a skilled therapist. Hang in there! You’re doing the best you can.

So you can see why I’m going private. The NHS don’t have time to waste they will see you for 10 minutes and decide you don’t need help
Even my GP told me to go private as the public health system is ■■■■
Do you have the insurance to go private? Can you afford it?
Insurance doesn’t cover. I have a job so I’ll just have to cut back on other things. It’s like £160 for 30 minutes
Why worry so much about the future and what other people think?
Just meet people and try to enjoy yourself and have fun! If the two of your personalities click, then maybe you can become more than friends.
What’s the worst that’s going to happen? You meet new people and make interesting new friends?
Try to enjoy your life! Things will fall into place!
